shubman x ict oneshots

y.bj x s.g

( got inspired for this after their video of walking out of the dugout in each others arms lol )

"a hundred against england that too one which had essentially made india win the game was a thing to be celebrated but why was shubman still feeling unhappy??"
" he didn't even do his signature celebrations today!" were all the thoughts rushing through yashasvi's head after the final wicket had fallen and he was yet to see his shubman bhai crack a smile on their win.

as shubman hadn't taken the field due to a finger injury, yash made his way into the dugout to find him and question him about his mood and try to atleast make him smile a bit because he just missed that blinding smile a lot.

after asking the coach about shubman's whereabouts he made his way further into the locker room and saw the person in question sitting near the farthest bench curled up into a ball, just staring at the wall in front of him with a blank look. yash, not wanting to disturb whatever train of thought shubman was having, just went and sat next to him.

"i'm so stupid if only i hadn't gotten out playing such a loose shot we would've been under less pressure and the win would've come earlier and been better!! god i'm so useless!"

yash turned his head towards the boy sitting next to him who currently had tears in his brown eyes with a small pout playing on his lips. he felt his heart clench hearing his shubi bhaiya saying such words which were absolutely untrue. but before he could reply, shubman just went on,

"do you also wish to have a better person at no.3?? a better batting partner for you? one who doesn't get out cheaply like i do?? putting so much pressure on a youngster like you yash?? maybe the people were right when they said you're a much better player than i am like you went on to score a 200 and put the team in a better position than me who just got out soon after my hundred!"

shubman had started sobbing by now and yash not knowing what to do just quickly pulled him into a hug

"shubi bhaiya if it wasn't for your century you know we wouldn't even have crossed 150 you did so well to almost bat them out of the game!" he replied while patting his head and almost melting on the spot when shubman tightened the hug and snuggled closer to him.

"you don't feel that i should've been better i mean better than what ppl expect from me?"

"you're enough as you are shubi bhaiya and didn't you only tell me before my test debut that i shouldn't ever pay attention to what the general public says about me??"
"also you are my favorite batting partner ever!"

shubman looked up at him with wide eyes " really? you really mean it?"

"ofc i do! you never get angry when i miss a run, your expressions when i hit boundaries, your words of encouragement when i miss a ball or get out early, the way you crack small funny jokes at the expense of the opposing team and make batting so fun for me! don't ever feel like you aren't enough bhaiya because you are more than enough!"

" have i ever told you you're my favorite junior yash?"

even though he tried not to, yashasvi was feeling giddy when he heard shubman say that because who wouldn't want to be shubman gill's favorite in whichever sense.

"come one now bhai, the post match presentations are about to begin and we both just can't miss it now, can we?" he smiled back at the boy who just wouldn't let loose his hug around him ( not that yash minded even a bit ).

" thanks yaar yash i'm feeling a bit better already! but you know what would make me feel even better?" shubman asked the younger with a small smile playing on his lips

"what"

"beating you in fifa 10-0" laughed shubman

yashasvi did not even have a comeback for it because he was busy staring at the boy in front of him who had his dimples on wide display and laughing for the first time in a few days, eyes sparkling. he grinned back widely as couldn't help but be proud that he was the cause of the first smile shubman had met out in almost three days.

and because of this urge to make shubman happy, yashasvi did end up losing the game 10-0 just to make his shubi bhai smile widely and crack jokes at his expense, feeling so relieved that his senior was almost back to his own self, dimpled grin on full display for yashasvi to admire.
